Day 2

Blacksmith: "Hey, are those new skeletons? They look cool. Let me know if they need some armor!"

Me: "Yes, thank you. I just raised them this morning, actually." tries very hard to look aloof.

Blacksmith: "So what happened to the old ones?"

Me: "It matters not. I believe they were shattered by a bear, perhaps. As a necromancer I am trained to remain unconnected to the undead that serve me."

Me, several hours earlier: sobbing heavily over freshly dug graves labelled 'Terrence', 'Olivia', and 'Pickles'.

Blacksmith, unconvinced: "Mhm, no connection at all, huh?"

Me: "None whatsoever." is fighting back tears.

Blacksmith, grinning: "Then why did I see you baby talking to your new ones, and naming them just an hour or two ago?"

Me: "Wh-huh..a-n-No! I would never!" blushes and flees.

And how I wish you to be mine again. Yes, my dear past-self, this cruel world calls for your boldness lest I should drown in their mind games.

POV: the character development in MC turned out to be a bad move in their cruel world

Day 1

Hunter: looks at my character, a twitchy white lady with blood tattoos all over her "So we've been kinda short on food lately."

Me: "Mhm yeah." cleans my ominous looking rusty scythe

Hunter: "I was wondering.." he looks behind my character, where there are 3 floating skeleton mages and 4 other skeletons with similarly rusty scythes

Me: "What were you wondering?"

Hunter: "Well you know since we haven't had enough to eat and can't spare anyone to hunt, I was just thinking..." he looks behind my skeletons to see a large flesh golem made of blood, dripping and slavering all over the place "...maybe you could go hunt some critters for us so we could have some decent meals."

Me, looking down at the puddle of disease spreading underneath my skeletons: "Are you sure about that?"

Hunter: "Seems like as good of an idea as any."

Day 5

Barbarian Chief: "Thank you for returning this enormously heavy sacred hammer to us. As is our tradition, we will now pass it on to a new champion."

Me, with very sore arms from lugging the stupid thing back to the village: "Mhm, cool. Well tell them I said congratulations on the big arms they have or whatever."

Barbarian Chief: "The hammer will be passed on to you."

Me: "Uh, what?"

Barbarian Chief: "Here you go!"

Me: "Are you sure about this?? I can't even use it! I can barely lift the damn thing! Why not give it to someone in your tribe?"

Barbarian Chief: "By your words and deeds, you are one of us, frail, stick shaped white woman. Tradition cannot be ignored, and therefore the hammer's blessings fall unto you."

Me, unsuccessfully trying to outsource the task of carrying the hammer to one of my skeletons: "T-thank you...I really appreciate it. I guess I'll...figure out something to do with it."

Me, several hours later: "What do you mean you can't do 12k gold? It's a sacred heirloom!"

Weapon Merchant: "This is essentially a rock tied to a stick. You are not the first to try to ingratiate yourself with the Bear tribe, and you certainly won't be the last. They play pranks on tourists like this all the time."

Me: sobs

paramount and spyglass are trying so hard right now to save face because jenna ortega rightfully left the scream franchise after they fired melissa for supprting palestine. nobody is dumb enough to believe the excuse that it’s a scheduling conflict hours after rumors she was trying to get out of her contract cause she was pissed. i’m very thankful that jenna is risking her career and using her position to do the right thing. she’s been outspoken about palestine for years now. i hope this begins a trend of zionist losing money for their support and complacency with an active genocide

Teyvat's "Most Down Bad" Award Goes to Alhaitham for a Second Year Running

Seeing everyone making fun of Alhaitham for his "stalkerish" tendencies in this event is funny, because I feel like a lot of people missed that "Be literally everywhere Kaveh is" has been Alhaitham's MO from the day Kaveh appeared in the game.

From only grabbing his house keys after Kaveh returned from the desert (he couldn't have had both sets of keys at the end of the Archon Quest unless he went home and got Kaveh's copy) to ditching conversations to get back to his house only after Kaveh came home, to showing up without any warning or explanation in Kaveh's hangout with some ridiculous excuse about hearing his voice through noise-cancelling headphones... Refusing to offer any help in the Temple of Silence story quest other than staying in the library with Kaveh...

Since when does Alhaitham willingly cover anyone else's duties?

But this trend of "Be everywhere Kaveh is" didn't start when they were adults. It was already in place when they were still Akademiya students--and it's a trend that didn't end even when they had their fight.

Even when they weren't speaking, Alhaitham dogged Kaveh's every step through published responses to Kaveh's research articles in academic journals. He insisted on keeping a line of communication between himself and Kaveh open, even if the only way to do that was through very public ideological clashes. Pulling Kaveh's pigtails to get his attention lolol. It's implied that, for at least the few years between their fight and Kaveh moving in, this was the only communication between them--Alhaitham's refusal to allow their connection to entirely fade away. (And the fact that this is revealed in Kaveh's character stories--through his precious journal that records the moments of his life that had the most impact on him--shows just how deeply he values the fact that Alhaitham didn't give up.)

Another relevant side note: Alhaitham never asked Kaveh to give up his half of their house. Knowing half of it belonged to Kaveh, knowing that Kaveh may one day want to reclaim his part of it, knowing that it was listed as theirs, Alhaitham moved into the house and made zero effort to change its ownership. He was completely fine with living in "his and Kaveh's house." The stories suggest it was only months later (or even longer) that Kaveh even noticed he had the house, and he transferred away ownership of his portion without Alhaitham ever asking him (or even seemingly wanting him) to do so.

Please, let that sink in. Alhaitham actively left his grandmother's (presumably comfortable) house to move into "his and Kaveh's house," with no apparent explanation for why, and after doing so, he made no attempt to change that "his and Kaveh's" label. He moved into the house with no promise that Kaveh wouldn't show up on the doorstep the very next day and move in too. It almost feels like another deliberate provocation--I've moved into our house, are you going to come stop me? LBR, if Alhaitham had had his way, Kaveh would have been living there with him from Day 1...

There's also the fact that Kaveh literally can't write on a single message board anywhere in the entire nation of Sumeru without Alhaitham hunting his messages down and responding to them (which absolutely no one else does, by the way).

"NUH-UH!" "UH-HUH." "NUH-UH!"

Alhaitham's own character stories tell us explicitly that one of Alhaitham's defining character traits is "He is never where you need him to be," yet somehow...

Shot, and chaser:

Any time Kaveh is in the slightest bit of need or danger or just wants Alhaitham near, Alhaitham is "coincidentally" exactly where Kaveh needs him to be, whenever Kaveh needs him to be there.

Alhaitham didn't just "happen" to run into Kaveh in Port Ormos, an entirely different city from where he was supposed to be working. He didn't just "happen" to read the same terrible book as Kaveh when we know he otherwise would not waste a moment of his time on poorly-written literature...

He didn't just "happen" to appear when Kaveh was upset and needed a distraction in the House of Daena during Kaveh's hangout. He didn't just "happen" to be sitting around waiting when Kaveh needed answers after the Archon Quest. He didn't just "happen" to find Kaveh's academic publications and every single message board posting and respond to them at length and in public.

Which is exactly what Kaveh's mother told Kaveh he needed.

What level of down bad is "Abusing your powers as an Akademiya employee to keep tabs on your crush's library loans"? Just asking for a friend.

The only person for whom Alhaitham just "happens" to be available is Kaveh, over and over and over again--because he is very deliberately making himself a constant presence in Kaveh's life.

(Like, out of all things, I think people really underestimate the devs deliberately paralleling the romantic relationship between Kaveh's mother and father with Kaveh and Alhaitham's relationship. If you want to point to one thing that says "These two characters are intentionally queer-coded," it doesn't get any more obvious than this.)

Alhaitham, are you not embarrassed to be this transparent??? 🫣
